Loopback Plugs
Loopback connectors are plugs, with pins wired
together as shown, that are used in conjunction with
the RocketPort diagnostic software to test serial
ports.
This loopback plug is used with the standard 8- and
16-port DB25 interface modules. To build a DB25
loopback plug for an RS-232 serial connection, wire
the following pins together:
•
Pins 2 to 3
•
Pins 4 to 5 to 22
•
Pins 6 to 8 to 20
To build a DB25 loopback plug for an RS-422 serial
connection, wire the following pins together.
•
Pins 15 to 19
•
Pins 17 to 25
